Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko said that patients who have symptoms of flu, ARVI or Covid-19 can open an electronic sick card remotely without visiting a doctor.
"Patients with symptoms of flu, acute respiratory disease Covid-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or acute respiratory disease can open an electronic sick leave without visiting a doctor," the head of the Ministry of Health said.
The minister noted that if the patient has symptoms of the specified diseases, he can call his doctor and receive treatment recommendations from him.
After such a consultation, the doctor can form a medical certificate of temporary incapacity for work for a period of up to five days, which is the basis for opening an e-sick card.
